DID JESUS WEAR CLOTHES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION?

 

FROM James McGrath

In the crucifixion accounts the Roman soldiers take Jesus’ clothes.
In the stories about the tomb those who visit it find the grave clothes.
In the Easter appearances, what if anything do you imagine Jesus wearing and why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My comment: If Jesus’ clothes are taken and there are grave clothes left behind then Jesus must be naked. If he is wearing clothes then where did the clothes come from?
